Step away from the bump! Unless a mama-to-be has given someone permission to rub the belly, people should keep their hands to themselves.

Hot Maternity Looks For Fall

babysugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:00:24 -0700

Mama's sporting a round front, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy being a fashionista. Though packing an extra 40 pounds may make leather leggings a tad less appealing, she can sport other fab items to keep her sassy wits about her. The know-it-all of fashion, Rachel Zoe, chatted it up with Regis and Kelly and pointed out some of Fall's hottest trends. Here's what mums-to-be can sport with ease.

Daring mamas can go for comfort in a pair of shiny leggings. A bit more practical and easily adjustable to an expectant look is the bulky sweater. If sweaters aren't your cup of tea, show off that beauteous belly with an open tuxedo jacket or vest. Top the look off with a large statement bag, bootie heels, and a smashing cocktail ring. 'Cause mommy should be celebrating herself as well as that growing baby inside her tummy!

Should Parents Curb Their Crass Clothing?

Some people get a kick out of absurd onesies that tout, "I'm a tits man." Others ditch the crude sayings, but think it's adorable to dress wee ones up in beer endorsing apparel. What about adult apparel? College kids are known to sport quirky tees with frat party banter slapped across the chest. When that man becomes a father, I wonder if he'll still be inclined to sport the "Playa fo' life" or "free breast exam shirt." While a parent can certainly choose to wear whatever they want, it may not be setting the best example for their offspring - especially one capable of reading.

Not Your Daughter's Jeans... Maybe For Grandmas?

babysugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:00:25 -0700

Nobody I know would be caught dead in a pair of "mom jeans." Since denim has become a fashion staple, mommies have had to find a way to make their tush look taut without revealing muffin tops or flashes of their derrières. Svelte mothers have no problem fitting into the latest fashion trends, but need a lil extra help from their dungarees. The creators of Not Your Daughter's Jeans are catering to that specific audience. Crafted with cotton and spandex, these jeans have special crisscross fabric panels that serve as a tummy tucker or a rear lifter. While some of the styles are quite fashionable and cost less than $100, I have to wonder if I can get past the label "Not Your Daughter's Jeans." Now for my mom, I'd consider it. What's your take on them?

There are rare moments when matching mom-daughter dresses are irresistible. Companies like Adore La Vie are putting a different spin on a fad once made popular by the floral loving designer Laura Ashley - gone are the days of frumpy dresses with shoulder pads. Adore La Vie showcases sprightly silk swing dresses to both delight mom and baby's palette. Available in three fabulous styles, the frocks are sure to garner attention, but mum better be ready to pay a pretty price - $162 for baby and $286 for herself.

CasaSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:15:37 -0800

From inspiring shelter magazines to the portfolios of interior stylists and photographers to haute décor shops, I've been seeing our bodies' garments artistically displayed on the beautiful bones of houses around the world.

Baby Bump: Italians Keep You Tight

babysugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:00:34 -0700

Autumn fashion is in full bloom. Finding dresses to be the most comfortable apparel outside of sweats, I frequently wear bright tights to add spunk to my ensemble.

Unfortunately for pregnant ladies, most maternity tights come in the basic and boring colors and patterns. But here's a little secret to keep you looking chic - buy Italian tights! Always ahead of the fashion curve, many designers make their tights in low rise.

Can you say happy belly and sassy gams?
